2014 was a pretty bad year for music, but there were some artists/songs that shone through. This year, I'm going to compile a list of my Top 50 favourite songs of the year, my top 10 artists of the year, top 10 albums, and top 5 breakthrough artists.
I intend to post 5 songs, 1 artist, and one album every day, as well as a breakthrough artist every 3, but this is a tentative schedule. Also with every other set of songs will be the #1 from a previous year.

I love Ed Sheeran's versatility and how he can go from making songs really fun like Don't and Grade 8 to making songs hauntingly beautiful like Afire Love and A Team.
